A/N: Well here you have it! The last chapter. I hope you enjoy. I didn't do spell check on this one either, or re-read it because I wanted to get it up. I can't believe it's over! Well her second year will be coming probably sometime this summer. Oh and now for the dedication. I dedicate Gone to LittleMaggie! She read like every chapter and left a nice review for me! Now onto the chapter!
Chapter 25Emily sat up in bed, with the sun shining through the curtains. She looked over and found Angel playing with the covers, pretending it was some sort of small animal. Emily opened her curtains and found the window was open and Kelly was sitting on the window seat. She was staring out at the grounds, not moving a muscle.
"Kelly?" Emily asked, walking over to her friend. Kelly turned her head and looked at Emily, she had a few tears on her cheeks.
"Kelly what's wrong?" Emily asked, sitting down next to Kelly.
"I don't know, I just woke up and felt really sad," Kelly replied, wiping away her tears. "I guess I'm just going to miss Hogwarts over the summer. And I'm going to miss all of my friends, who am I going to gossip with, or argue with?"
"Kelly, you don't live too far away from Godric's Hallow," Emily said.
"That's true, we better start packing, we don't want to miss the train or leave anything behind," Kelly said.
"I thought you packed everything last night?" Emily asked.
"I didn't feel like it," Kelly said, heading over to her bed. Emily grabbed some robes and headed into the bathroom to take a quick shower. She walked out a few minutes later, dressed in her Hogwarts uniform, and with her long brown hair, dripping slightly on her shoulders.
"You ready for breakfast?" Rosie asked, putting her nightgown into her trunk.
"Sure," Emily said, dropping her pajamas into her trunk and closing the lid.
Emily, Rosie, and Kelly walked down into the common room, finding Andrew, Parker, and Grant getting ready to head out to the Great Hall. They caught up to the boys and headed down stairs together.
"I'm going to miss it here over the summer," Rosie said.
"You've got to be crazy! I'm sick of homework and tests!" Parker said, through a mouthful of eggs.
"But learning is so wonderful," Rosie replied.
"Emily, she's starting to sound like how my Dad described your mother," Parker said, taking a drink of milk. Rosie just smiled and took a sip of her tea.
"Good morning students! Please hurry up with your breakfasts; you have about an hour before you are to leave. I hope you all have a safe summer. There will be carriages waiting for you outside, whenever you are ready to leave. But don't be late, for the last one leaves at 9:45,so you will be able to get to the train station in time!" Professor McGonagall announced.
Emily went upstairs to find that her trunk had already been brought to the train station. Lauren was still packing a few last minute items. Emily found the whicker basket for Angel under her bed and put her cat in it. Angel didn't seem too happy about it, and started hissing.
"Emily thanks for making me laugh last night. I needed that, and I guess you are right. I'm way to young to be thinking about marriage and love and having a boyfriend to make out with," Lauren said.
"No problem, that's what I'm here for," Emily said. Lauren laughed. "Why did you want to have a boyfriend anyways?"
"Because I felt I should. I really don't know. Mallory had one and we always do everything together. We even planned to have a double wedding," Lauren replied.
"I've never even thought about a wedding or about having a boyfriend. Guys are good as friends, but I don't want to suck face with any guy," Emily replied.
"One day you will, I'm sure of it," Lauren said with a smile. Emily rolled her eyes and grabbed Angel's basket and carried her down to the common room. A small house elf took it from her and said she would bring it to the train station for her. Emily thanked the elf and decided to search for her friends. She found them getting ready to get into a carriage and Emily hopped in with them. They could barley fit six people in the small carriage but they managed, girl's sitting on one side and guys sitting on the other.
"Emily, where did you go?" Rosie asked.
"To put Angel in her basket and to talk with Lauren. She's in a much better mood now," Emily replied.
"Well that's good, but you know, she isn't too young to start liking guys," Kelly said.
"Yes she is," Emily said.
"You know you're impossible Emily," Kelly replied. Emily laughed.
Once the six-reached Hogsmeade Train Station, they hurried inside and found a compartment to themselves. They sat talking for a few minutes waiting for the train to depart. It left at exactly 10:00. Parker took out his Wizard's Chessboard and began to play against Grant. Rosie took out a pack of Exploding Snap cards and decided to play a game against Andrew and Kelly. Emily watched, laughing as Andrew's face turned black from the explosion. At around 11:30 the old witch with the cart came in and offered the students some treats. They each bought a few items and shared with each other. Kelly spit out her Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Bean with disgust.
"What flavor did you get?" Parker asked, trying not to laugh.
"I don't know, but it tasted like dirt!" Kelly said, taking a big long sip of pumpkin juice. Her friends began to laugh and Kelly glared at them.
"Emily, can I talk to you?" Josh asked, standing in the doorway.
"Sure," Emily said, getting up and walking out into the hallway.
"We'll have to talk in the hall, since all the compartments are filled," Josh explained.
"Ok, so what do you want to tell me?" Emily asked.
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I've been kind of selfish lately and I really don't know why. I guess I really don't want a father, considering I've never really had one. But I'm willing to give your father a chance, if you're willing to give my mother a chance," Josh said.
"What made you change your mind?" Emily asked.
"Aaron made me feel really horrible for how I've been acting towards you," Josh said.
"Well what did he say?" Emily asked.
"Nothing important, he just made me realize that I do need a father and that my Mom can't be a father for me," Josh replied.
"Well, I'll try to give your mom a chance, and the key word there is try," Emily said.
"As long as you try, who knows you might end up liking her. She's a great Mom," Josh said.
"My Mom was a great Mom too," Emily said.
"I know, and Aaron says my Dad was a great Dad, but things happen in life that can't be prevented," Josh said.
"I know, but there is no guarantee that I will love her like my Mom, but I'll try to get to know her," Emily said. "As long as you get to know my father."
"Will do," Josh replied.
"Good, see ya at the train station then," Emily said.
"Yeah, bye," Josh said, and headed down the hallway to the compartment with his friends in it. Emily smiled and headed back into her compartment.

"We will be arriving at platform 9 and ¾ in about ten minutes!" The driver announced.
"We better put on our muggle clothes," Rosie said, grabbing a pair of muggle shorts and a t-shirt from her trunk. Emily, Kelly, and Rosie all headed for the bathroom. Kelly came out wearing a pink skirt and a white tank top, Rosie was wearing her green shorts and a black t-shirt, and Emily was wearing black Capri's with a pink t-shirt. They went back into the compartment and found the boys wearing jeans and a t-shirt.
The train pulled into Platform 9 and ¾ a few minutes later. Emily started dragging her trunk out with Angel's basket on top of it. She was half way out of the train when the trunk slipped and rolled down the steps, almost landing on top of her. She jumped out of the way just in time, catching Angel's basket before it rolled onto the sidewalk.
"Here, let me get that," Aaron said, dragging her trunk out along with his into the muggle train station. Emily followed him slowly, carrying her cat and walking with Kelly and Rosie.
"You'll have to write me Emily, ok?" Kelly said.
"And me too," Rosie said.
"Sure," Emily said, and found herself onto the muggle platform. She stared around and found Aaron hugging his Mom, and Mrs. Granger came running up to Emily.
"I'm so glad your back for the summer!" Her grandmother said, pulling her into a tight hug.
"Me too Grandma," Emily said, hugging her grandmother back. Mrs. Granger took Angel from Emily and headed over to the car and placed Angel in her basket on the back seat. Emily saw her friends hugging their family members, and she scanned the scene for her father. She found him talking to Aaron and shaking Josh's hand. Emily smiled and started to walk over to her father.
"Daddy!" Emily yelled, waving to her father.
Harry looked up and a smiled formed on his face. He left Josh standing on the platform and jogged over to his daughter. He pulled Emily into a hug. Emily hugged him back.
"I'm sorry Daddy," Emily said, looking up into her father's eyes.
"You called me Daddy," Harry said happily.
"You mean you're not mad at me?" Emily asked.
"I was just disappointed in you, I could never be mad at you," Harry said, taking Emily's hand and walking over to Gina, Mrs. Granger, Aaron and Josh. Emily stared at Gina, noticing her stomach looked huge compared to the first time she saw her.
"Daddy, is she pregnant?" Emily asked slowly.
"We're having twins!" Harry said excitedly.
"Twins?" Emily asked, stopping in her tracks.
"Yeah, a boy and a girl, their due in early July," Harry replied.
"Don't we have enough people living at our house?" Emily asked.
Harry laughed.
"The more the merrier," He replied.
Emily shook her head and headed to the car with her father. She squished into the back seat with her grandmother, and her two stepbrothers. Emily was heading home for the first time in months. She was finally going to be with her father again, and this time she was happy, she didn't exactly like Gina, and the idea of two more kids in the family was disturbing, but Emily knew that would all take time. She was finally ready to except it even if she still wasn't completely over her mother. She was ready to give her new life a try. She was finally ready.
A/N: Sorry the chapter was so short, but I wanted to end it like this. Well tell me what you think in a review. And while you're waiting for Emily's next year, you could read some of my other stories. I basically just stared Meant to Be, and I think it's pretty good even though it's full of fluff. Well onto reviewing! Over one hundred reviews! Yeah!!
